Middlewest #18

Two small figures stand bathed in warm golden light at the base of a colossal, swirling storm entity — a churning, humanoid mass of dark, roiling winds that dwarfs them completely — making for one of the most visually arresting covers Jorge Corona has produced for this series. The scale contrast between the vulnerable human pair below and the towering supernatural force above, rendered in Jean-Francois Beaulieu's rich amber and deep purple palette, speaks to everything that makes Middlewest such a compelling read. Issue #18 arrives as a vivid reminder of why this Image series captures the quiet courage it takes to face something enormous and terrifying and simply… stand your ground.
